NOTICE!
Possible data transmission errors

For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not use ordi‐
nary microphone cables.

Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers or ampli‐
fiers.

You can install the device standing or hanging upside down. When in use, the device must be
mounted at a solid surface or clamped to an approved truss. Use the openings of the two­piece bracket provided for mounting.

Work from a stable platform whenever you install or move the device or when you perform
any kind of maintenance. Block access under the work area.

The safety cable must be attached to the bracket.

5 Starting up

Create all connections while the device is off. Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for
all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping hazards.

Starting up

Outdoor Stage PAR 12 × 4W Quad IR RGBW, 12 × 3W Quad IR UV

21

Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX
device. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the second one, and so on
to form a daisy chain. Always ensure that the output of the last DMX device in the daisy chain
is terminated with a resistor (110 Ω, ¼ W).

Connections in DMX mode

Starting up

22

When you configure a group of devices in master/slave mode, the first unit will control the
other units for an automatic, sound-activated, synchronized show. This function is ideal when
you want to start a show immediately. Connect the DMX output of the master device to the
DMX input of the first slave device. Then connect the DMX output of the first slave device to
the DMX input of the second slave device and so on.

3. Try using another DMX controller.

4. Check to see if the DMX cables run near or alongside to
high voltage cables that may cause damage or interfer‐
ence to DMX interface circuits.
